Hi Jake , You should try UK ebay --- there are HMV No 5 sound boxes listed all the time. Regards Dulcetto

There are usually HMV 5A and 5B soundboxes listed on UK eBay, but the earlier No.5 is rarely seen as it had a very short production life and is prone to metal fatigue.

The good news is that I currently have one listed, ending tomorrow.

I have seen it and thought about it I will probably decide to bid it's just the pot metal backplate from what I can see there are 2 cracks and the fact even a small knock can cause it to crumble as I have learnt from a previous incident involving a no4 and the floor.

Thanks, Jake
